View any number of individual days in iCal

You can view two days at a time in iCal by typing command-option-2, three days by typing command-option-3, and so on, up to seven days. I discovered this because I tried to assign command-option-1 to Window -> iCal in the Keyboard preference pane, and it wouldn't let me.

[robg adds: I checked the Keyboard Shortcuts list for iCal, and I didn't see these listed, so I think they're undocumented...]

Further, it doesn't necessarily reflect the current work week (today's) or the current 2, 3, etc. days. A nice hidden feature though; I was just trying to do this earlier today. Low and behold, it shows up on macoshints.

it would appear that cmd-alt-crtl-6 displays six days, then press the combination again, and the last day of that six day view becomes the first day of the next six day view. this gets over that whole problem of trying to migrate a batch of events from the end of a week to a new week, without switching to month view.
Its implementation is not 100% however, a couple of times it refused to play nice, but switching to another app and then back again to ical got it going again. just a fyi.
cheers
